Cashmere – this natural fibre stands for pure luxury, incomparable softness and warmth. Cashmere hats and cashmere headbands are not only a fashion highlight, but also a tribute to the harsh winter months. That is why we decided years ago to make winter accessories with this noble fibre . Our Shepherd line with beanie and headband made of 50% recycled cashmere and 50% ultra-fine merino wool ( both GRS-certified) are our most expensive and luxurious products. They are also only branded on the inside to leave enough space on the outside for this noble textile fiber.
Today we would like to not only tell you about the extraordinary benefits of cashmere, but also explain why this wool is so valuable to us, who are rooted in the Alps – especially in an environment that challenges us every day.
Cashmere – The fibre of extremes
Cashmere wool is not only known for its incredible softness, but also for its ability to protect us from extreme weather conditions. This valuable fiber comes from the cashmere goat, which is native to the harsh regions of the Himalayas. There, where temperatures fluctuate drastically and nature is merciless, the cashmere goat develops its particularly fine undercoat - the precious cashmere.
It is precisely this wool that makes cashmere a treasure for those of us who face the conditions in the Alps. Even here in the mountains we know the cold that cuts through our bones. But just like the cashmere goat in the Himalayas, cashmere protects us in the Alps: With its unique ability to store heat while being breathable, cashmere offers perfect protection in sub-zero temperatures - whether you are on the slopes in a snowstorm or strolling leisurely through the snow-covered village.
The wool is combed out of the cashmere goats. This results in only 150 grams of wool per goat.
Why cashmere is perfect for our headbands and hats
The extraordinary fineness of cashmere, which is created by its small fiber diameter, is incomparable. When you wear a cashmere headband or hat, you immediately feel how soft and comfortable the fiber feels - even on sensitive skin. The material is made for alpine winters: it keeps you warm without making you sweat, while protecting you from the icy cold.
But cashmere is not just practical. It is a fiber that exudes elegance and is timeless. Our cashmere headbands and hats are a statement for everyone who feels connected to nature and at the same time appreciates subtle elegance.
The advantages of our cashmere headbands and hats at a glance:
- Incomparable softness that pampers even sensitive skin
- High wearing comfort – ideal for long winter days in the mountains
- Odourless – perfect for active outdoor adventures
- Temperature and humidity regulating – ideal for extreme alpine conditions
- Luxurious and durable – a companion for many winter adventures
A collection inspired by the mountains
Our Shepherd line represents a combination of nature, tradition and elegance. We deliberately chose a limited number of pieces to underline the special nature of this material. Each headband and hat is unique and has been made with dedication to offer you the best possible protection from the winter elements.
Care – How to keep your cashmere beautiful for a lifetime
Cashmere is a natural wonder that will last a lifetime if cared for properly. The natural lanolin in the fiber has a self-cleaning effect, which is why it is often enough to air your cashmere headbands and hats in the fresh air. If washing is still necessary, we recommend a gentle hand wash with lukewarm water and a special wool detergent.
Our care tips:
- Ventilate regularly – so your cashmere products stay fresh longer.
- Gentle hand wash – without wringing or rubbing.
- Dry on a towel to maintain the shape.
- Moth protection in the closet – cedar wood keeps your treasures safe.
